One second more and the p'-ndii-lum
of coincidence, on Saturday
aftcriHHtn, would have repeated the
awful tragedy of Jan. 2.", 1S!)'.
The pay train of the Sunbury A
lA'wistown Division going west at
the rate of 4.r miles an hour, collided
with the McKces sUige near Mrs.
Catharine 1 tower's in Swinel'ord.
The engine struck the horse on tin
near side, in the region of the front
legs cutting him up pretty badly ami
throwing its heart out on the bank.
The other horse, strang to sav, rc-
ceiveil but a few scratches and is iu
no danger. The stage was a cover

How these xopleiseaied with their
lives is as much a mystery asow
the mules cscaiMd injury in thf
Kreamer collision. In so many re-
sj)ects is this collision similar to the
awful fate at Kreamer that is still
so frh in our memory. 'Tis true,
in this no humnu lives were hurled
into eternity, but the way it allhan-
xii is so similar inai we can not
iclp alluding to it.
.None of the ihtsoiis were very
much injured considering that they
were withina inumciit of death. I be
driver received a few bruistw autl
scratches. Mr. Harper was also
hriuscil considerably, having Ik-cii
under one of the horses. Miss Mus
scr, too, sustained some injuries and
and perhaps more than she is aware.
Her clothing was Itadlv torn, and
she is suffering considerably from
bruises.
The officers of the company were
here on Monday and etlcctcd a set

could. They have shown every evi

were so unfortunate as to lie iu the

departure from all previous designs, '
showing a large space ot white ta

extended wings hovering over the

of a border in geometrical designs.
